- Toss the daikon and carrots with 1 teaspoon of the kosher salt in a large bowl and let sit for 10 minutes. Drain, rinse, and transfer to a large lidded jar or container.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, stir the vinegar, water, granulated sugar and the remaining 1 teaspoon kosher salt until the sugar fully dissolves, about 3 minutes. Pour the hot liquid over the vegetables, seal, and refrigerate until cool.
- Whisk the mayonnaise, sriracha and lime juice in a small bowl, season with kosher salt to taste, and refrigerate in an airtight container until needed.
- Preheat the grill to 450°F (230°C).
- Grill the chicken on clean grates for 5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Lightly toast the rolls. Spread spicy mayo generously on the top half of each, then layer with chicken, pickled vegetables, cucumber spears, jalapeño and cilantro.
